224845 Gnr. Harry Watson MID British Army D Bty. 211th East Lancs Brigade Royal Field Artillery from:Whitehaven My father Harry Watson was Mentioned in Dispatches in 1918.(I have the original certificate.) He was involved in hand-to-hand fighting during the German Spring offensive nr Bucquoy. My dad would not speak of the war - I found out this info from a military researcher. My dad's brother was killed in WW1 but I know nothing of him except for an old photo. I always regret not asking enough questions when I was a young man. My dad's brother was named Edward. My dad did once mention to my brother that he also served in Gallipoli. I remember when I was a small boy dad talking about an incident where he had to put cloth round a horse's hooves so as not to make a noise. This didn't register with me then, but I have often thought since that it might have something to do with Gallipoli.
